Toto’s Seafood Grill - Hayward

I have been a regular at this restaurant since 2017, but it seems like there has been a change in ownership. The Filipino street food used to be affordable, but during my recent visit on 7/21/23, my wife and I spent almost $50 on a snack. We didn't order much, as we just wanted a light meal, and we were disappointed to find that the quality of the isaw had declined. It seems that the prices at this restaurant have increased significantly, making it a much more expensive dining option.

There are lots of free parking spaces available. Great place for family. I came here towards closing time, so the choices were limited. I love their isaw (chicken intestines and chicken skewers. I wish they had more beef options, but they didn't.My suggestions:Please have some sort of salad available (achara, eggplant, bitter melon, etc. and desserts. I didn't know if you're trying to get a beer and wine license, but having beer with these food would be more. Have some music playing in the background too. The restaurant was too quiet.Overall, ai liked it here. I'll be back.

Truly authentic Filipino BBQ! It is usually pretty full at nighttime and if you get lucky, they bring a live band!I been wanting to come for some time now and I was not disappointed. It’s a fun experience to grill your own food, although is more like warming up since most of the skewers are already cooked.They have the basic chicken, pork and fish skewers but they also have a large selection of organs, chicken feet and fish balls.

This place made me feel like I was back on vacation in the Philippines ?? ? This place is great to take the family. They have a good selection of food for your skewers, but I just wish some items were a bit fresher. The grills had cold spots, but if you got lucky, you'd get the blazing hot one. Service wasn't really there since you do everything yourself, but they do have a decent selection of beverages.

I'll say the food is average, but it's a unique concept that you can't get many places and is fun. You get a tray at the front and then pick out whatever skewers you want off the buffet and then pay at the register. You pay by the piece, but the prices aren't really shown. You can get rice, soup, and drinks at the register. There isn't really a menu that I saw. You just sort of look behind the counter and see what other people are getting. Then there's a large communal grill in the middle where you grill your food. Everything is already cooked, so you're really just heating food up. The grills were really low so it kind of took a while. The tongs and grill are communal, so if you're skeptical about that this isn't for you. But it seems pretty clean and nice inside. Pork bbq was juicy and tasty. Pig ears were run by and tasty. Pork intestines were a little too funky for my taste, but to each their own. The orange egg thing was pretty good. I also liked the lobster balls and fish balls. Very authentic Filipino street food experience. Fun and unique place. Glad I went.
